It is native to Oregon and northern California, where it grows in moist and wet habitat, such as coastal bluffs and mountain forests. Romanzoffia californica grows erect to 40 centimeters tall from a network of hairy brown tubers. Around the base is a number of leaves with rounded, evenly lobed blades on petioles several centimeters long. The inflorescence is a curving cyme of flowers, each on a small, erect pedicel. The flower has a funnel-shaped corolla which may just exceed a centimeter long, set in a calyx of pointed sepals. The corolla is white in color with a yellow throat.
